    What is the normal range of temp for the water/coolant for STI motor? My DEFI guage is reading between 190-215(F) degrees today, more like in the 210-215 but haven't seen it hit 230, yet... Of course it was hot today too... any suggestions?

    Yep, thats where they run. Your fans should kick on around 210-215 or so. The only time my water temp is around 180 is when I am crusing the freeway and it is under 60 outside.
